Integration Pyramid Continuum Degrees of integration Unified Multiple units merged into a single operating unit Integrated Standardized Coordinated #HASummit 14 Multiple units brought together by incorporating parts into a larger whole that works in unison within a matrix organization Multiple units agree to utilize single definition for an established value, quality, characteristic, or process in order to produce a uniform outcome or experience Multiple units organized to work in concert with each other where the value of the result is greater than the sum of the individual units
Why Integrate? Affordable Care Act Changes in Medicare reimbursement (probable commercial payer reductions as well) Expansion of Medicaid Leverage the “value equation” Need to operate clinically in a synchronous fashion • “Working differently” to reduce cost and improve quality • Examples: § Patellar fracture transfer § Direct admissions § Best practice dissemination § Migraine management § Keeping patients local #HASummit 14

Lessons Learned 1. Take a hard look at the current workforce. You may need to make substantial investments to correct issues. 2. Hire those with “fire in the belly. ” Those who are enthusiastic and believe in your mission should be your hiring focus. 3. Put the right leaders in the right places. 4. Doing the “right thing” is ok in the absence of supportive data/analytics. Don’t be paralyzed. #HASummit 14 16
